Found a lump

I'm a guy, I've got a kinda hard lump right behind my left nipple, it emerged on Saturday when it was quite painful and now its not painful but it's there and it's quite large kinda the size of a smartie (sorry i'm eating smarties as I write this :p:

)

ANyway i'm going to the doctors tomorrow morning about it :frown:

Yes that happens to quite a lot of people, its most probably just too much tissue in one place, I am sure it's nothing serious.

are you on the pill? cos i know that can increase the chance of non-malignant lumps. but definitely better safe than sorry and getting it checked out.

its probably a mamery gland :p:

males do have them they just dont form beyond so many weeks into prgnancy or something.
thats what your doctor will most likely say. wouldnt worry about it

thanks.

You could be developing a breast. It happened to me. It's natural and should go away after a few months/years. But it's OK, you don't actaully develop a full breast, just this hard lump. Mines gone now so yours should too after a while. I think mine was there for about a year.

If you're worried it does no harm to see a GP.

Best to check with your doctor, but if it is something that's come up over a short period of time than it's much more likely to be something that isn't serious. Always better to check though, just to be on the safe side - and just so you know for definate what it is and why it's occured.
